Neonatal blood pesticide concentrations can exceed maternal blood levels. A 2024 placenta study found pesticide residues in every sampled placenta. Most published data focus on active pesticide ingredients and often omit inert components and adjuvants. Multiple lines of evidence are presented as showing that pesticide exposure during pregnancy is common rather than exceptional. The review focuses on pesticide exposure through drinking water during pregnancy and its relationship to congenital malformations.
